Default Install Question for 98


I am trying to install 98 onto a new newly formmated 2.0
GB hard drive. When I run Setup from the cd I get an error
message telling me, 98 needs 205 megabytes to install.
It's been sometime since I have installed 98 does it need
this much? Can I install a scaled down version?

Default Install Question for 98

What is the size of the partition you are trying to install W98 on? If it
is 2 gb, what else is on it--formatting should have left all the space free.
